2017 Yamaha FZ-10 $12,999

Latest Generation Crossplane Crankshaft Engine: The potent 998cc inline 4-cylinder engine features the same Crossplane Crankshaft technology developed in Yamaha’s renowned YZF-R1 superbike. Tuned specifically for the FZ-10™, this engine develops awesome low- and mid-rpm torque with arm-stretching top-end power.Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle with D-MODE and Cruise Control: The FZ-10 features YCC-T®—a ride-by-wire throttle system that provides exceptionally precise engine control—and D-MODE, which allows the rider to select a preferred engine response at the flick of a switch. The FZ-10 also includes cruise control for improved highway cruising comfort.Adjustable Traction Control System: An advanced Traction Control System (TCS) assists the rider in managing traction on various road conditions by quickly modulating throttle opening, ignition timing, fuel volume and other parameters.Deltabox® Aluminum Frame: Like the YZF-R1® superbike, the FZ-10 uses an aluminum Deltabox frame to create a lightweight and responsive chassis built for agility, featuring an ultra-compact 55.1-inch wheelbase.Fully-Adjustable KYB® Suspension: The FZ-10 features a fully-adjustable inverted KYB® front fork and a four-way-adjustable, linkage-type KYB® shock, for excellent road holding along with a tuning range ready for a wide range of street conditions.Powerful, Controllable Brakes with ABS: An advanced Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is mated to high-specification braking components for strong braking power with excellent feedback and control.Aggressive Ergonomics and Styling: The FZ-10 displays raw aggression from every angle, with upright ergonomics that perfectly balance sport riding feedback and relaxed comfort. High-tech LED lighting and an all-LCD instrument panel boost both style and function.

Engine Features

Latest Generation Crossplane Crankshaft Engine: The potent 998cc inline 4-cylinder engine features the same Crossplane Crankshaft technology developed in Yamaha’s renowned YZF-R1 superbike. The Crossplane design nearly eliminates inertial engine torque to provide a direct connection between the throttle and rear wheel, for maximum traction and linear torque feeling. Tuned specifically for the needs of the high-performance street rider, the FZ-10 engine develops awesome low- and mid-rpm torque with arm-stretching top-end power.Cutting-Edge Engine Design: The FZ-10 motor features the very latest in engine design to create the ultimate high-performance street sportbike. Engine reliability is ensured with strong, lightweight forged pistons and carburized fracture-split connecting rods moving through an extremely rigid, closed-deck cylinder block. The engine’s cylinders are slightly offset to reduce friction losses, with plated bores for excellent heat dissipation and cylinder sealing.Compact Stacked Transmission: The 6-speed transmission stacks the crankshaft, input and output shafts in a triangular layout to centralize mass and keep the engine shorter front-to-back, which allows optimized engine placement in the frame for outstanding handling.Rocker-Arm Valvetrain: Rocker-arm valve actuation utilizes the lever ratio of each rocker arm to allow for larger valve lifts while using lower camshaft lobes and reduced spring pressure, further boosting power and efficiency.Oversized Intake System: A huge 12-liter airbox improves rideability, especially when transferring from acceleration to deceleration or vice versa, while 12-hole fuel injectors are angled to optimize combustion chamber filling for improved power and torque characteristics.
